More teasing from everyone’s favourite Namco Bandai producer.

The Street Fighter and Tekken producers square off in a battle of wits (sort of…) on Twitter, and offer teases on the Darkstalkers and Soul Calibur fronts, too.

Supposedly, these screenshots from the Xbox 360 digital release of Soulcalibur “highlight the transition to the high definition era and fan favorite characters.” However, I can’t seem to find any good comparison images for a side by side comparison. On a quick glance it doesn’t look like anything is different. Perhaps, a sharp-eyed Siliconera reader [...]

Every year, downtown Seattle hosts a convention centered on Japanese popular culture called Sakura Con.  The event is home to some of the most numerous displays of gaming and anime cosplay anywhere in the world.  This year saw cosplayers dressed as everyone from Solid Snake to Cloud Strife and Optimus Prime.  Here are some of [...]

After seeing Yoda and Vader pop on screen, questions popped in my head. Fortunately, I had a chance to speak to Wayne Shiu, Product Marketing Manager of Soulcalibur IV, to get some answers. I figured plenty of people would ask why Yoda and Vader were in the game so I went in with a different [...]

Adding Yoda and Vader in Soulcalibur IV stirred up quite a bit of discussion. People seem to fall in one of three camps: love it, hate it, or perplexed by it trapped in a "WTF" moment. Katsutoshi Sasaki, the director of the Soulcalibur IV, would like to see Pac-Man. Unfortunately he doesn't have any weapons. [...]

I mentioned this in the Soulcalibur IV party live blog, but in case you didn’t wade through the text Talim will be in Soulcalibur IV. While Talim was not in last night’s build the news comes directly from one of the Namco Bandai staff members working on Soulcalibur IV. Beyond confirming her as a playable [...]

  Four PM, four hours of Soul Calibur 4 are about to begin. I'm going to be liveblogging my matches win/lose/draw once is start playing. Before that we're starting off with a speech from Namco Bandai. Apparently, the event has some new trailers and "surprises" perhaps not related to Darth Vader or Yoda.   5:00 [...]

Lloyd isn’t restricted to the Tales universe. Namco Bandai is making him a guest character in Soul Calibur Legends with a serious looking character model (thanks for the scan IceAmp!). This is indeed a strange crossover; almost as awkward and cool as seeing Link in Soul Calibur 2.

When I was testing Soul Calibur Legends out, the first thing that popped into mind was the motion controls in Bleach: Shattered Blade. So I asked Jin Okubo, the producer of Soul Calibur Legends, if there will ever be a Soul Calibur fighting game on the Wii maybe in the vein of Bleach: Shattered Blade. [...]

  While I was at Namco Bandai’s headquarters yesterday the development team spoke about Hilde, one of the new characters. One of the funny things they mentioned was that they wanted to make a “sexy” female character who was fully clothed so they thought up the concept of encasing Hilde in armor. Promptly, someone asked [...]

Missing at E3 was Soul Calibur 4, the next and final installment in the Soul Calibur series. It’s coming out in 2008 and here is an early look at some of the concept art for the fighters. Tira, one of the characters introduced in Soul Calibur III, looks notably different with long hair and Nightmare [...]

Namco Bandai announced that Soul Calibur 4 is in development (shocking!) and that it will be released sometime next year. Unlike Soul Calibur 3, which was a Playstation 2 exclusive, Soul Calibur 4 will be a multiplatform game for the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360. The teaser hints that this may be the final game [...]

  Veilknight dropped us an e-mail (thanks!) about Namco Bandai “crazy ass adventure game” for the Nintendo Wii that stars characters from Soul Calibur. Soul Calibur Legends brings together some of the cast of the fighting game into a third person action adventure game. The concept art above shows Siegfried holding the Soul Edge fighting [...]
